Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y 2/8] ipv6: start using dst_dev_rcu()
Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2026 15:28:27 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260901192833.1439569-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260901192833.1439569-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>
[ Upstream commit b775ecf1655cedbc465fd6699ab18a2bc4e7a352 ]
Refactor icmpv6_xrlim_allow() and ip6_dst_hoplimit()
so that we acquire rcu_read_lock() a bit longer
to be able to use dst_dev_rcu() instead of dst_dev().
__ip6_rt_update_pmtu() and rt6_do_redirect can directly
use dst_dev_rcu() in sections already holding rcu_read_lock().
Small changes to use dst_dev_net_rcu() in
ip6_default_advmss(), ipv6_sock_ac_join(),
ip6_mc_find_dev() and ndisc_send_skb().
Fixes: 4a6ce2b6f2ec ("net: introduce a new function dst_dev_put()")

[ backport note: this tree lacks the dst_dev()/skb_dst_dev() wrapper
helpers and the ip6_mc_find_dev()/netdev_tracker refactors that the
upstream commit builds on, so the hunks were adapted per-site:
- icmp.c: icmpv6_xrlim_allow() gained the 'dev' local and the
widened rcu_read_lock() region, converting the dst->dev
IFF_LOOPBACK check to dst_dev_rcu().
- output_core.c: ip6_dst_hoplimit() widened rcu_read_lock() and
switched to dst_dev_rcu(), dropping the now-redundant inner
rcu_read_unlock().
- route.c: __ip6_rt_update_pmtu(), ip6_default_advmss() and
rt6_do_redirect() switched to dst_dev_rcu()/dst_dev_net_rcu()
in the sections already under rcu_read_lock().
- ndisc.c: ndisc_send_skb() switched its dst->dev read to
dst_dev_rcu() since the whole function is already inside
rcu_read_lock(); the differing stats macro there predates this
commit and was left untouched.
- anycast.c (ipv6_sock_ac_join()) and mcast.c (ip6_mc_find_dev())
hunks were dropped: this tree still has the pre-refactor,
RTNL-only code (dev = rt->dst.dev, no netdev_tracker, no
ip6_mc_find_dev() helper), so dst_dev_rcu() does not apply
there. ]
[ sashal: Reduced backport -- upstream b775ecf1655ce touches 6 file(s), this
backport carries 4. Not backported here:
net/ipv6/anycast.c
net/ipv6/mcast.c
This note is generated from the file lists only; see the resolution record
for the reasoning. ]
